Khao Tom Mud - A Traditional Thai Snack

The Bangkok Post, a widely-read English language newspaper, published a story and recipe of mine yesterday. It recounts my visit to the home of a family of traditional Thai dessert makers, where I learned to make Khao Tom Mud, a snack made with sticky rice, coconut, black beans and bananas. Here is a link to the article and recipe: http://www.bangkokpost.com/leisure/restaurant/31902/khao-tom-mud

About Me

I am a Thai cook or mae (mother) khroa (kitchen.) I was born in Bangkok Thailand, and emigrated to the U.S.A. at age 15. My restaurant Saffron, founded in 1985, was the first Thai restaurant in San Diego and is going strong in its 24th year. I am the author of Cracking the Coconut: Classic Thai Home Cooking, winner of the Julia Child Award, and Asian Grilling. My new book, The Elements of Life: A Contemporary Guide to Thai Recipes and Traditions for Healthier Living will be published by John Wiley & Sons in October, 2009. I have appeared on numerous national television shows, including Today, Good Morning America, The Martha Stewart Show and The Cooking Channel, as well as local TV. If you want to learn how to really cook Thai food, the traditional old-fashioned way, or learn about Thai food history, culture, tradition or food stories, you are at the right blog.
